[4.50/10] Jasper Jones (2017)

Quick Review: Based on the novel of the same name, and taking place in late 60's Western Australia, "JJ"'s visual authenticity, and subtle tones match its toned-downapproach, but sadly, all of the intrigue around the small-town murder mystery it deals with is killed by the muddled pacing, and unfocused direction that pays way too much attention on the family dynamics involving theprotagonist, and not enough on the main story. The acting isall-around strong, with Collette shining the most.
